Agree but if the Iranian people rise up against the mullahs after taking advantage of weakened regime because the Air War the US launched against the regime, do not you think that in this case we should provide some support to the Iranians to make sure them succeed. I am not talking about ground troops because this requires a million troop to do, but keep the Air and Naval assault on what ever oppressive tools the terrorists mullahs still have.

Absolutely, I think we should be funneling them weapons now since they’ve been waging an undeclared war on us since 1979. To the Iranians who want to be free, I’d say we’ll help you with the weapons and tools. We could in some situations where it’d be helpful provide air cover, but obviously no ground troops except possibly Special Forces. The mullahs have made this necessary. It must go from concept to deed.

Regarding nation building in Iran if it comes to that...I totally agree that it would be foolish to try in Iran what we have attempted and are failing to do in Iraq.

The Iranian people are much more educated and self sufficient than the Iraqi people were at the time of regime change. A large majority of the Iranian population is under 30 years old and will be far better off to figure out how to create a more moderate government than they currently have.

Hopefully we have learned that we can no longer occupy these countries or try to craft a US-like government with a hands-on approach. This should not stop us from bombing their nuclear and conventional weapons factories immediately though. Wouldn’t it be a joy to see the people rise up and purge the Ayatollahs from power as a result!

President Bush resolve is still strong my FRiend despite all the propaganda against him. Yes liberals, defeatists, and traitors, and even few on our side have been undermining the war and the military for long time but the President is still standing fast and we saw the latest showdown in the war funding bill and thanks God the President, our troops, and America won.

Can you imagine if weapons and explosives were being delivered from the USA to Iranian dissidents that the media would accept uncritically the idea that there is no evidence that these were being provided by the Bush Administration, so it’s not Bush’s responsibility?

It’s pathetic when Bush gets blamed for idiotically remote problems (prison abuse in Baghdad, hurricane in LA), but the Iranians don’t get blamed for anything despite waging open war on us.
